   Helen Brett (Posthumous) Chairman of the Board; Founder Helen Brett Enterprises, Inc.
   ...
   Helen Brett was the first female tradeshow manager, and independent promoter of tradeshows in the U.S. She pioneered the way for women and other independent promoters in the industry. Brett broke new ground in the international community by holding one of the first trade shows in Puerto Rico and encouraging exhibitors from South America and the Caribbean to participate in U.S. events. Her greatest contribution to this industry is demonstrated through her work as an entrepreneurial show promoter in the late 1940's and early 1950's. Throughout her career, Brett developed many products and established a list of patents for new and innovative products that met consumers' needs at a time when technology was only beginning to become a daily staple in people's lives. Brett's work gave entrepreneur's headway to an industry that was previously dominated by associations.
